The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Sí para conseguir, si al número uno tengo que
Dejar de dolor morir de amor
Sí el precio por tener, fama y fortuna es dejar
De ser lo que quiero ser, no voy
no me importa no brillar para eso ya esta
El sol donde esta
No me importa impresionar para eso esta
El color del mar
no puedo triunfar si no tengo amor
No quiero ganar si hay un perdedor
Ya no quiero más si te dejo atrás
Hacía a la anochecer no me escucharas
sí para figurar como una estrella tengo que
Que vivir en la oscuridad no voy
Sí para sobresalir tu quieres que olvide lo que siento
Aléjate de mi no voy
no me importa no brillar para eso ya esta
El sol donde esta
No me importa impresionar para eso esta
El color del mar
no puedo triunfar si no tengo amor
No quiero ganar si hay un perdedor
Ya no quiero mas si te dejo atrás
Hacía la anochecer no me escucharas
no puedo triunfar si no tengo amor
No quiero ganar si hay un perdedor
Ya no quiero mas si te dejo atrás
Hacía la anochecer no me escucharas
si no estas en mi casa se pone tan gris
Y aunque tenga dinero de papel tapiz
Aunque tome champagne coma caviar
Y son de codorniz si no estas no me siento feliz
Aunque valla de crucero de Cancún a parís
Y llegue a dormir a casa del décimo quinto rey luis
Tu sabes quien soy tu sabes quien fui y lo que costo
Llegar hasta aquí andaba un mainis no te vallas de mi
yo no quiero oro no quiero plata
Todo lo que ata es lo que te mata
Yo no quiero plata no quiero oro
Quiero tu mirada que es mi tesoro
yo no quiero oro no quiero plata
Todo lo que ata es lo que te mata
Yo no quiero plata no quiero oro
Quiero tu mirada que es mi tesoro
no puedo triunfar si no tengo amor
No quiero ganar si hay un perdedor
Ya no quiero mas si te dejo atrás
Hacía la anochecer no me escucharas
no puedo triunfar si no tengo amor
No quiero ganar si hay un perdedor
Ya no quiero mas si te dejo atrás
Hacía la anochecer no me escucharas
Dejar de dolor morir de amor
Sí el precio por tener, fama y fortuna es dejar
De ser lo que quiero ser, no voy
no me importa no brillar para eso ya esta
El sol donde esta
No me importa impresionar para eso esta
El color del mar
no puedo triunfar si no tengo amor
No quiero ganar si hay un perdedor
Ya no quiero más si te dejo atrás
Hacía a la anochecer no me escucharas
sí para figurar como una estrella tengo que
Que vivir en la oscuridad no voy
Sí para sobresalir tu quieres que olvide lo que siento
Aléjate de mi no voy
no me importa no brillar para eso ya esta
El sol donde esta
No me importa impresionar para eso esta
El color del mar
no puedo triunfar si no tengo amor
No quiero ganar si hay un perdedor
Ya no quiero mas si te dejo atrás
Hacía la anochecer no me escucharas
no puedo triunfar si no tengo amor
No quiero ganar si hay un perdedor
Ya no quiero mas si te dejo atrás

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
